Great shot, I only figured out now that coeur must mean heart. Lots of phrases now make sense to me. :) 8

The final image is not much different to the original, just a few minor adjustments really. Here is the original:



Just a matter of experimenting with lighting and camera settings. Ya kangaroo :)

Hey sheepy. Nice photo, but it could have been improved if you had used a canon ;)

Before submitting I check my images using the pipette on the info palette in PS. And I can assure you that even lightest areas on the girl's face all contain color information under 255.

Love this shot! Only thing I would have to say is it looks like the majority of the highlights in this image are blown out and the midtones look a bit too flat. I have a sneaking suspician that the overbearing highlights happened in post production. The blue is a nice touch but a bit to overpowering as it looks more like a filter in front of the lens than toning an image. A curves adjustment could take care of all the little things that detract from the image, provided that the original image does not have the blown out highlights as well :) All in all, good job!
